@b16ef nope, I would never do this to my celica-supra wheels. its mainly only used for my weds

[hvguy]

@phishintube lol, I would tell you to eat shit,however id just be playing into your trick =)

There is one issue with this particular tire changer. In time, I'm sure you'll encounter it soon enough. Yes, I have one. That flat tip on the end of the bar has a very nasty tendency of breaking off. Also, if you run into a "stubborn" tire, that very same bar will bend. Again, I know this from experience with it. I have a second bar but it's not from HF and it's 10x's beefier than that of the one supplied. Otherwise, it's a wonderful tool to have at home for the DIY'er.

@TsmnnDvl5 possibly yours wasnt hardened? one of my first few tires was a 12 ply trailer tires... rusted to the rim. indeed, it took 2 people to break the bead, however, it eventually came off...

but yeah, it is chinese, and they arent known for their "durable" products lol

Cool, simple and useful design. Would not do this with my alloys though.

Boy do I feel like a retard. I bought one of those on sale at Tractor Supply for $30 a few years ago and never used it. Went to use it today... I had the tire on the pedistil while trying to break the bead. Worked great till I flipped the tire over and tried to break the bead on the other side....no room to work....see you place tire on the ground. :) Works like a charm.

Thank you! Was about to run tire over with my truck to get it off the bead.

@hvguy And what if you would tape of the ends of the wheel with Duc-tape? Any solution to this problem can save money for people on a budget (nearly everyone).

Good stuff. Helped me to make up my mind, I will buy one. Thanks for sharing.
